"On August 6, 1991 [34 years ago], the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee."

@artbysarahsammis Thank you! And very nice, quite a milestone, congratulations!

@stefan

Jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne!

@stefan "...This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."
@stefan
It’s been downhill ever since.
@mtconleyuk We've had some good moments too, to be fair!
@stefan I actually had a NeXT and could browse it. Tables and forms are what really super powered HTML site making.
@stefan btw Tim Berners-Lee is on Mastodon: @timbl
@chebra @timbl Yes, hello, happy world wide web anniversary!
@stefan Hiroshima day? CERN? Coincidence?
@stefan we set up around the 400th node at CRCC (hofstadter's lab) in 1992
@noplasticshower Nice! Must've been exciting times!
@stefan we were mostly transported to Italy for a year...carol died during our time there

@noplasticshower Ah, sorry for your loss, assuming you two were close.

Still, you two, and the rest of your team, are now part of history!

@stefan Doug's loss was a major life blow. He's written about it all over, but see esp "I am a Strange Loop"

Honestly the web was (and remains) just a thing
